hello i dont often react to your posts (mostly cuz im too busy to take it easy on ma phone not cuz your bad Your cool and your posts are interesting! and i enjoy them very much so thank you) so i saw your latest observation of the fandom's love hate relationship with wild and if you don't mind can you tell me how you see Jojo's character wild and botw's wild? pls? :<

Hello!

The way I see Wild is… kinda complex. Im not a big fan of the ‘feral arsonist’ archetype, nor of the ‘batshit insane fighter’ (though I have definitely contributed to that.) I guess when I characterize Wild I see him as more at ease with his past, if that makes sense. When I characterize him, I see him as unbothered by his past life (though the Calamity does bother him). I also characterize him as more of ‘wandering traveler’ rather than ‘cryptid’.

My main problem with the fandom is how a lot of the fandom bases the rest of the Chain’s personalities off of how they react to Wild (i.e, Twi’s a glorified babysitter, which is a whole other can of worms that I might post about) rather than taking the time to build their own personalities. Thank you for taking the time to interact with my post!

Edit: I also hate how people regulate Wild’s entire personality to ‘Lived through Calamity’. Let him be creative, make a family, do something other than Calamity related things.

Do you have a recommendation list of wlw books? Could be your favorites or the ones you thought were the best or just anything really. I'm always looking for more of them

of course my dude

lets get the big boys out of the way

this is how you lose the time war by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone. you've probably heard about. you've probably seen quotes from it. i myself was late to it (i read it the other month) but lord is the hype worth it (in my opinion). made me crazy.

the priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon. yes its big. im sorry but it is worth it. samantha the audacity to create sabran berethnet and let me read the book in a 24 period. the yearning of it all.

gideon the ninth/harrow the ninth by tamsyn muir. its aight. im not the person you should go to about gtn tbh but everyone else out there will tell you about it.

my personal favs

a memory called empire/a desolation called peace by arkady martine. yes i am talking about them again. these two books are the best thing ever written. how many hugos can one woman win. it is so intricate and layered and nobody says what they mean and the politics and the brain surgery and the sluttiness of former ambassadors. thinking about mahit dzmare's character makes me feral. three seagrass can be a teixcalaan so personal.

foundryside/shorefall by robert jackson bennett. me once again banging my one man drum about foundryside. please it is so good i dont care if the fantasy magic system isn't for you. there is a shit talking key. there is brain surgery. there are complex morals. there is a wlw romance just for the hell of it. where the plot goes in shorefall to this day makes me batshit insane. i have read shorefall at least half a dozen times in four months. can the third book come out now please mr bennett i am dying.

the long way to the small angry planet by becky chambers. becky chambers my beloved. i would die for you. i am so sorry i haven't read to be taught yet but i will buy everything you write. but about this actual book it is perfect. everything in this book was so good and soft and whenever i thought something would happen that would make me mad. nope. every single book in this series (there are four of them and all are beautiful to look at if you dont live in america) is outstanding. becky chambers and arkady martine duking it out for the hugo next year.

other books i wholeheartedly recommend

the rise of kyoshi/the shadow of kyoshi by fc lee. yes they are fantastic. if you like atla read them.

when the tiger came down the mountain by nghi vo. stunning novella but i recommend reading the first one the empress of salt and fortune first. also stunning but not as gay.

the jasmine throne by tasha suri. the start of a promising trilogy. the slow burn reeled me in lads. but in my honest opinion not as morally grey as what the people on goodreads said.

sweet and bitter magic by adrienne tooley. do you not mind ya? do you like every single trope imaginable shoved into a book? this is the book for you. the angst got to me ill admit it.

the atlas six by olivie blake. some kind of weird dark academia shit going on here. a plot relevant threesome. not wlw but theres lgbt rep throughout.

the library of the unwritten/the archive of the forgotten by aj hackwith. again not wlw but lgbt rep but i adore these books. third in the trilogy comes out the end of the year and i am stoked. cool library concepts is the best book plot and this are by far the coolest.

steel crow saga by paul krueger. a fun read overall. atla and pokemon vibes with some of that sweet sweet complex moral questions with a fun wlw couple.

jane unlimited by kristin cashore. i dont care it gets really weird in the end i adore this book. get weird kirstin you do you. fun chose your own adventure type thing. main character has romantic moments with two of the characters and its not romance heavy.

finna by nino cipri. novella about two exes trying to get through inter dimensional ikea. yes that is the plot. yes it is good

books that i haven't finished/read yet but have heard they are good

she who became the sun by shelley parker-chan. ive read the first couple chapters and was meh but everyone else ive seen that has read it loved it. is said to be mulan meets the song of achilles, which are two things i have not seen/read so.

one last stop by casey mcquiston. i have read 2/3s of this but ill be honest the sex kinda threw me out of the book. if you dont have this problem and liked rwrb you will also like this.

the liars dictionary by eley williams. if you like pretentious english kid speak. really neat idea for a book is you can get past that.

the councillor by ej beaton. ugh i wanted to read this one so bad but i found it at not a good reading time for me. sounds like it is fantastic though. politics heavy book.

unconquerable sun by kate elliot. if you like greek retellings and can stand tense changes (i cannot).

black sun by rebecca roanhorse. have heard nothing but good things and is hugo nominated and yet i have not finished. shame on me.

these feathered flames by alexandra overy. russian folklore inspired fantasy. dont know whether it is classified as ya but has ya vibes.

fireheart tiger by aliette de bodard. i haven't even started this one but its short and has politics, yearning, and yearning while doing politics.

#this has taken me like an hour so i will stop here.#nobody wanted all this book commentary yet i give #i dont know why all of a sudden im a gay book rec blog but im not mad #i read a lot of books. i have a lot of thoughts on books. i am happy to help #anon

DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY TWO BOOKS but if you could recommend me one (1) f/f (esp if one of them is bi) fantasy book, which would it be? i can't decide between foundryside and a memory called empire but maybe there's another cool book im missing out on!

i would be happy to help my friend.

if you put a gun to my head i would say a memory called empire because it is honest to god the best book ive ever read. memory however is kinda hard science fiction though, not fantasy. it is also not a casual read, it is extremely complex and an onions worth of layers but i love this book and the sequel a desolation called peace. thinking about them makes me feral i Will never shut up about those books.

BUT if you do want a fairly easy to get into fantasy than foundryside is it. i absolutely adore foundryside and the second book shorefall (shorefall is the most batshit insane book ive ever read i am Begging more people to read them so i can talk about what happens in that book more). and the cover of foundryside is beautiful.

the romances in either book aren't especially prominent (they are more so in both sequels) but no sexualities are ever discussed.

some other books that i just think are neat but dont exactly fit are the long way to a small angry planet (sci fi with a low-key f/f romance but is also one of my favourite books), the library of the unwritten (just a fantastic fantasy book with great plot twists and lgbt rep), and if you dont mind m/m the house in the cerulean sea is soft, heartwarming, fantasy. that book is perfect honestly.

#if you could buy one and then download the other #but probably memory. memory is fucking outstanding #but do at some point read foundryside i love those books so much #the wlw brain surgery contingent #anon
